Welcome to the official online home of underground rock from Eugene, Oregon circa 1980-1995. Relive the time you spent in someone's damp, smelly basement while you were in college!

John Francis - Guitar/VocalsTy Hodson - DrumsKurt Landre - Bass/VocalsSomething She Said existed for a short time, 1991-92? I don't recall seeing many people at their shows but they were one of my favorite bands at the time. Probably a little too pop oriented for the grunge obsessed Northwest of the early 90's but if these guys had been from the East Coast I imagine Matador would have snapped them up quicker than you could say the band's name. At some point in '92 shortly after the three bonus tracks I'm including here were recorded, Kurt left the band. Ty and John re-grouped as The Betmars and released a couple of things which I hope to eventually post so stay tuned.Something She Said - Fluke (1991)1. The Shortcoming Tendency of a Property Defect2. All the Geniuses (Are Dead)3. Bowlin' Pants4. Rubberbands5. Sub-Song6. S' Just Like You7. Only, They Do8. Stuffing Myself for Doris (Again)9. The Reality of Crab Fishing10. Distance For Instance11. Complimentary Mood12. The Nice ThingBONUS TRACKS (recorded in '92)13. Backwards 3x14. Impatient15. That Smell Downstairs

Eugene Saunders - GuitarBen Beebee (RIP) - Bass/VocalsRachel Blumberg - Drums/VocalsThree Pigs were one of about a zillion projects the three band members were involved with during their time at the University of Oregon. Some jazz influence, some Firehose, some Vomit Launch (hearing sweet voiced Rachel sing Vomit Launch's "Swelling Admiration" is a personal favorite, so wrong but so right!). Don't know much about the history of the band, think Eugene was also in the Black Dahlias when this was recorded, Ben & Rachel were also in Otto. This tape has the distinction of being (by-far) the most difficult to transfer to the digital realm due to there being no time at all between tracks so sorry in advance if the track increments are a little sloppier than you're used to. The tape was engineered by Patrick Yonally who you may remember from The Batcows, The Davenports, if, The Black Dahlias, The Undertakers, Otto, Flypaper or Sugarking. There are probably a couple I'm forgetting too, Patrick was a very busy guy!Three Pigs - S/T (1991)1. None of the Above2. Roadside Geography3. Reflections4. Not You5. Fur Lined Roof6. Wet Morning7. Que La Gente Quiere8. Consumer Tune9. #1 Hit Song10. Swelling Admiration11. Mystery Train12. Equinox13. Sesame St. Jazz
